Heroes, Saints, and Ordinary Morality

"With Heroes, Saints, & Ordinary Morality, Andrew Flescher joins the ranks of the very best virtue ethicists working today.... Flescher offers here a stunning intellectual achievement, but even more importantly he prods the reader to reflect on moral complacency while providing clues for how to envision a better, more virtuous life." --Lloyd Steffen, Religion Studies, Lehigh University

Résumé

Most of us are content to see ourselves as ordinary people - unique in ways, talented in others, but still among the ranks of ordinary mortals. The author probes our contented state by asking important questions: How should "ordinary" people respond when others need our help, whether the situation is a crisis, or something less?
